.TXT or .CSV files: different type of text files (e.g.: .DOC), WILL BE

NOT ACCEPTED.

2) Start the SHOWLOADER3

program on your PC and follow the

indications given in the manual’s appendix “A” in order to “import” the

text file in the working area of SHOWLOADER3

. Once the show data

are imported, they could be EDITED and modified directly inside the

program using the editing capabilities of SHOWLOADER3

. We

discourage however this method since it could leave the original file un-

modified and thus containing dangerous discrepancies: it is much better

to MODIFY ALWAYS THE ORIGINAL TEXT FILE and to import it

again in the SHOWLOADER3

3) Connect your PC to the Firemaster TX5000 using the cable supplied for

this purpose. A standard SERIAL port (COMn) must be used: if not

available, an USB port can be used instead along with a RS232-to-USB

CONVERTER. Parente Fireworks s.r.l. can supply this type of converter

upon specific request. Commercial USBtoRS232 can be also used but

we must warn about the possible incompatibility of some models. The

COM port used must be the same selected with the

COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS menu.

4) Select the “IMPORT/EXPORT” icon on the main menu of the TX5000

(F6 key “SEL”). Clear all existing fields with F3 “NEW”. Use F7 to

select the SAME TYPE of data transfer (TEXT or BINARY) you

selected at point (3).

5) Prepare SHOWLOADER3

for the type of data transfer you prefer

(TEXT or BINARY). Use the TEXT mode only with a FIREMASTER

III TX-2000 with firmware revision 1.6c or earlier ones. Use the

BINARY mode in all other cases (FIREMASTER III TX-2000 with

firmware revision 1.7 or FIREMASTER IV TX5000 all versions). Click

on “ACTION” then click on “Send to Firemaster TEXT” or “Send to

Firemaster BINARY” according to your needs: the data transfer will

start immediately

In order to prepare the System to receive a new file from the PC, press key F3

“NEW”: all data fields will be cleared.

For any other detail about SHOWLOADER3

and data download, please

refer to the appendix “A” of the present manual.
